Best Bet: Royal Wood and Diana Chittester at the Midland theatre

NEWARK - Royal Wood and Diana Chittester will perform at the Midland Theatre at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 2. Tickets cost $40 and can be purchased online at www.midlandtheatre.org or over the phone at 740.345.5483.

Royal Wood's latest album is titled Ever After the Farewell and was recorded in London, UK, with Jamie Scott, who is known for his work with renowned artists like Rag’n Bone Man, Niall Horan and Ed Sheeran. This album is not only deeply inspired by both loss and love, but is an ode to the classic styles of both Tin Pan Alley and Laurel Canyon.

Diana Chittester will then take the stage with a solo show brought to life by her signature percussive multi-part playing and the personal stories and vulnerability she shares on stage. Chittester tours regularly in the US and Canada at folk-rock venues such as The Ark, Music Box Supper Club, and Performing Art Centers across the MidWest.
